Mrs. CIeyeland's Tact.

Mrs. Cleveland's tact has never been
more quietly and yet successfully ex-
erted than in her simple policy of re-
fusing to close the doors on reception
days when the advertised hour Of clos
ing arrives, says writer in the Phila-
delphia Times. The demands of bust
ness, delays of livery men, lateness of
railway trains, or a thousand and one
other causes which make men swear in
braggart style prevent many people
who are naturally curious to meet and
know Mrs. Cleveland from reaching
the white house doors in time, and
those who have been thus DELAYED and,
by her kindness, have yet been able to
be presented, have grown quite ardent
in their praise of her act. Strange as
1t may seem, they are not few in
number nor do they all come from
single city or a score of cities. Il
know it is no more than curiosity to
see the presidents wife" she recently
said to a friend, ''but it seems to give
pleasure, and | am glad to put myself
out little to oblige them. | don't of
course want to make show of myself,
but | am becoming accustomed to be-
ing stared at, and, what is more i'm
portant, all of the curiosity is not of
vulgar kind"
Mrs. Cleveland's method of shaking
a callers hand is commended to host
esses who desire to become popular.
There is nothing more chilling to
caller of cordial manner than to have
the tips of two or three fingers extend
ed by,a hostess as frigidly as though
the caller were some moral or physical
leper, with no claim upon humanity,
big or little. Mrs. Cleveland knows
this. She grasps a callers hand with
firm, warm clasp, not neglecting to
look him squarely in the face mean
while, and her greetings are as varied
as circumstances will permit. Her
only complaint thus far has been the
WEAKNESS which attacks her left (not
the hand-shaking) arm, but this is not
unusual. The President has himself
experienced trouble of a similar kind,
and white-house habitues of long stand
ing recall that the late President Grant
complained of the same benumbed feel
ing. Mrs. Cleveland also has the
faculty of remembering faces as well as
names, and of being able at the state
and diplomatic dinners to call each
one of her guests by name.

Epernay, in France, is vast subter
ranean city of champagne. For miles
and miles there are streets hewn out of
the solid chalk, tianked with piles of bot
ties with champagne of all brands and
qualities. There is no light in this Iaby-
rinth of streets, crossings and turnings,
except what the spluttering candles af-
ford. All is dark, dank and damp, with
the temperature away down about zero.
The largest champagne manufacturers in
Epernay have underground cellars which
cover forty five acres of ground and con
tam 5000, 600 bottles of wine. There is
a whole street in Epernay lined with ine
chateaux, all owned by champagne men.

DANCING VS.. KISSING,
fool. Hippinson in Hsrner,s Razar I

ICol. Hlgg1nSOn IN Harper 6 Bazar.
/ have seen thousands of people gath
cred at Rocky Point day after day in
summer, with dancing going on all day
long, and never word or an act that /
should be unwilling to have young per-
son see, and I have seen at country
church gatherings where dancing would
have been thought sin, romping and
rudeness such as no yorrg girl ought 70
take part in. In view of this there is
something very curious in the way in
which revivalists like the Rev. Sam Jones
lavish their Indignation on the lesser evil
and ignore the greater. ST have been
hunting for q dancing Christian for
many years." said Mr.. Jones in a late
address. "and 1 have never found one,
for l used to run with that sort of cattle
before 1 was converted. / don't want
any man to cut figure on a ball room
floor with his arm around my wife or
daughter, and / don't believe you do.
Purity-purity is what we want" But
If the contact of the arm is Objectionable
IN the dance, where there is no kissing,
does that contact become purer when it
is the prelude to scuffle and smack?
Are young girls lips less sacred than
hCI SiofcNt VI Wdi5t. L Confess
ed to surprise sometimes at the COM
posure with which mothers can sit in a
ballroom and see their daughter revol-
wing in the arms of men whom they
know to be coarse, if not vile; but the
contact is, after all, comparatively slight
and temporary, whereas the thought of
having received kiss from such a per
son would be to truely refined woman
an ignominy which the waters of the
Atlantic ocean could not easily wash
away.
t. those who believe it possible or de-
sirable for very young people to live
without social Intercourse, or to live
wholly by religious and intellectual com
psnionship, have nothing to say, ex-
cept to express disagreement with their
belief. If all that our youths and maid
ems can reasonably demand is a prayer
meeting or course in Sanscrit, be it so.
But if they are to have social amuse-
ments together we must consider which
are the most innocent; and if the choice
lies practically, in orr country towns.
between kissing and dancing, can anv
person seriously doubt which is best?

A Dogs MEMORY.

l heard dog story the other day that
should serve as text In reformatory
school, or, to bring it nearer home, to
some people as an argument in favor of
educational discipline. The hero of this
tale is an Irish setter, amiable enough,
but stubborn, and trained only to be
good. He never showed any special tai
ent save to "keep house" and live up to
his canine instincts of barking at seedy-
| looking strangers and evincing proper
affection for the family whom he honor
ed with his maintenance. Not very long
since young relative of this family un-
dertook to teach Jack a trick. He was
told the dog was too stubborn to learn
anything, 1t was useless wasting time
over him; but the more objection thrown
in his way the more the young man per
sisted, for be said it was time Jack knew
something, and he had just taught his
own dog several amusing tricks which
Jack must and should acquire forthwith.
Whereupon he called Jack into the
dining room, shut the door, and
began his task of making the creature
sit up and give his paw. In itself moth
ing could be more simple. 1t is the
very kindergarten of canine culture, bat
Jack didn't see it III that light. He
would not sit up, nor would he give his
paw. Over and over again, with the
greatest patience, was the instruction
given, while Jack, in the most ldlotlc
way, refused to hear what was told him.
After two hours labor, the poor dogs
kind mistress begged that he might be
excused "Nol" was the stern answer.
1--WE begun and must go on now, or the
dog will be ruined" Finally, owing to
the lateness Of the hour, the disciplin
arian led Jack into the cellar, where the
household would not be disturbed, and
then renewed the contest with little
more severity. AS the clock struck II
the brute seemed to ge5 1T through his
pate that, unless be obeyed like gentle
man, he would have TO stay there all
night. SO he sat up, and Topped
tawny paw just once! This was enough,
the fight was over, aud the victor rush
ed away to take the last car home. Jack
never told any one of that nights expeu
ence; perhaps 40 one Thought to ask him
about it, or If he would kindly exercise
his dearly acquired accomplishments.
Al all events. weeks passed away ere his
pew master and conqueror came again to
the house One night Jack heard the
noise at the front door, and with the i'm
petuosity peculiar TO his race he threw
himself heaalong against the visitor, aud
tGen suddenly withdrawing, sat down on
his launches and held up q paw. TIE
victory had been complete, and Jack had
remembered his lesson. Boston Herald

RUINS IN CENTRAL AFRICA.

Some way south of the Zambesi Riv-
er there Is 4 large region, extending
nearly 400 miles inland, aad 300 to 400
miles toward the south, in which ruIus
are constantly beng discovered, proving
that il prehistoric times the country WAS
inhabited by civilized people 10 day
only the rudest black tribes Inhabit tins
land, save in few places, where the
Portuguese have established stations.
The little beehive huts OF the natives are
seen among massive ruins, betOkenIug
degree of architectural skill which rivals
thai Of the Ancient AZtecs Our know
ledge of these ruins Is still far from per
feet. Our earliest records of travel and
trade on the East African coast, extend
ing back to the beginning OF the Christian
era, do not mention them. The coast
town of Sofala is shown on all maps Of
East Africa. Near that town Carl Mauch
found extensive ruins, remarkable for
their enduring nature and strange shapes.
There are partly ruined walls still 30feet
high and II feet wide at the base, built
of small hewn blocks of granite. Here
and there, built in the walls or standing
by themselves, are round, stone towers,
which evidently rose to heights of 80 to
30 feet. 1t is not positively known yet
who built these ancient structures. All
these ruins are surrounded by surface
gold mines. 1t is believed that all this
country was occupied some time before
the Christian era by great colony, pro-
baby of Ph9nician origin; and that its
chief occupation was gold mining. Mr..
O'NeilI says that large region in inner
Africa now given up to savage men and
wild beasts was subject many centuries
ago to the control of people who were
considerably advanced in the art of civil
cation.

Boxing With a Horse.

A very vicious and ill-tempered horse
was eating his head off in a very luxu-
rant loose box, because there was nc
one in the establishment of the gentle
man to whom he belonged who had the
courage and strength TO enter his stable
to saddle and bride him. If groom
approached for any other purpose than
to give him his corn and lay, he would
speedily drive him away by free use
of his hoofs and teeth. One day at
lunch the owner was lamenting the
uselessness of the finest horse in his
stud to party of friends, and wound
up by saying that he would gladly
make present of the horse to any one
who could saddle and ride him out of
the yard.
A young graduate of Oxford, Hon.
Sidney Lawford, expressed his willing
ness to make the attempt, and though
warned by many a blood-curdling re-
cital of what had been the fate of the
grooms and the stable boys that had
made the like effort, he persisted in his
determination to try. After lunch all
adjourned to the stable in expectation
of seeing the young fellow receive a
severe lesson for his temerity. He was
known to be an expert in every manly
exercise, especially boxing, and was in
perfect wind and training. Selecting a
saddle and bride from an adjacent
rack, he approached the strong bars
that opened into the brute's stall, speak
ing kindly and soothingly to him. The
horse turned and eyed the stranger,
and, catching sight of the hated bit,
became furious, flashing out madly
with his heels and stepping wildly
about the stall, making the straw of
his bedding fly in every direction.
Without word the graduate rested
the saddle and bride on the top rail;
but the steady, undaunted fire of the
eye, the firmly compressed lip, the
backward poise of the shapely head,
the swelling muscles of his 1.-THE and
active frame as he lightly vaulted into
the box, told plainly of the iron, in
domitable will and pluck within.
Scarcely had he landed on his feet than
the now thoroughly Infatuated beast
came rushing headlong at him, with
its satin ears tlattened closely against
its lean head, its eyes ahame and
bloodshot, its mouth agape and dis
playing set of cleaning teeth, which
he CRASHED and ground with fury.
Sudden and savage though the on
slaught was, the young Oxonian was
prepared.
Throwing himself naturally and
gracefully into boxing attitude, he met
the maddened animal with a blow on
the temple, just between the ear and
eye, swift, straight and memorable as
from Nasmyth' hammer, that brought
him on his knees. Rearing up and
squealing with pain and rage, the brute
rushed again upon his foe, who step
ped aside, but pale and determined,
awaiting his coming. Again a level
bolt, straight from the shoulder, flew
the clinched fist, and down dropped
the horse. Slowly ne staggered to his
feet, and trembling in every limb,
while great patches of perspiration
stained his TANKS and sides, he cow
cred in Il corner OF the stall, complete
ly vanquisned. The victor soon had
the bit in his mouth, and, leading him
out of the stall, cautered gayly on the
prize his bravery and knowledge had
won.-OuLiilg.

RACINE, Wis, March 12.- Residents
in Somers, Kenosha County, are tgjtated
over the death of reciuSe bachelor of
that place, named Robert Quigiey, who
died on Thursday, without making a will.
and the finding of $4,000 in the cellar.
The story as told by a farmer from the
vicinity is substantially IS follows:
Quigcv was taken sick and a foreigner
living close by was dispatched for a phv-
stefan. The physician said that he was
very sick, and it would be we'll 10 make
his will. Father Cleary, of Kenosha,
was sent for, Jonas Rhodes called in,
and several others summoned. Pen, ink
aud blanks were secured. The sick man
was asked to make his will and state
p ainiy to whom he bequaathed his pro-
perry. He suddenly refused to speak.
and not a word would he utter. He
grew worse and died, the will not made.
Father Cleary and others gave the body
a decent burial. Neighbors and others
surmised that the man bad money
secreted in the house. A search was
instituted and kept up from day to day,
until yesterday, when the searchers found
a number of earthern jars III remote
part of the cellar. Some of them were
opened but contained nothing. They
were abont TO be abandoned when a man
opened larger one. He was nearly
paralyzed to find it filed with gold, OF
course there was excitement The
money was removed TO the upper part of
the house aud $4,000 in solid gold pieces
were counted and numerous notes.
The money was taken care of, and it will
probably be claimed by number of
uephews and rieces who live IN this state
near Berlin.

A Texas legislator is reported to have
bill making it unlawful TO
manufacture, import, or sell any pistol
of less than 44-calibre. His reason for
introducing the bill is that a man hit
with bullet from A calibre will gen
orally die before he has chance to shoot
back. The result will be an obvjous
saving of human life. Moreover, a A.
caliber pistol is so big that it can't be
worn concealed in the hip pocket or any
other pocket.
